DM Us That Look: How to Shop Smarter Through Lives & Referrals

Let’s be real — scrolling through Instagram or Facebook and stumbling on a look that instantly makes you go, “I need that!” is part of the fun of fashion these days. At Nyota Melanie, we don’t just sell clothes — we bring energy, confidence, and connection through every live, pop-up, and DM. And guess what? Shopping smarter doesn’t mean spending more — it means knowing where to look and how to move when you find a look you love.

Here’s how you can elevate your shopping game, support a small business you love, and make your closet a true reflection of YOU — one live, one DM, and one stylish referral at a time.

1. The Power of the DM: Don’t Sleep on It

If you’ve ever seen a piece on one of our lives and thought, “Oh, I’ll come back later,” only to find it’s gone — girl, you already know. That DM is your golden ticket. At Nyota Melanie, we respond to every “DM me that look!” with love, care, and speed — because we want you to feel good and look good without the stress.

Pro Tip: Screenshot the item, send it with your message, and tell us your size. We’ll guide you through what’s available, what’s restocking, or even give you a sneak peek at what’s coming.

2. Referrals = Style Wins for Everyone

Word of mouth is everything. When you refer a friend to our shop, you’re not just putting them on — you’re helping us grow this movement of women who are showing up bold, vibrant, and unapologetically stylish. Whether you send them a link to our lives, tag them in a post, or tell them to check our Instagram or Facebook Live shows, it goes a long way.

Better yet — we reward loyalty. Keep an eye on our referral perks and giveaways. We see you showing love, and we love you right back.

3. Live Shopping is a Whole Vibe

There’s something about live shopping that just hits different. You get the fit, the vibe, the way it moves — no flat photos here. Our community shows up not just to shop, but to hang out, connect, and get inspired. You’ll hear styling tips, see pieces paired in real time, and probably laugh a little, too.

If you’ve never joined one of our lives, it’s time. You’ll leave with more than a new outfit — you’ll leave with community and confidence.

4. Shop with Intention — Not Impulse

One thing we teach at Nyota Melanie is how to make intentional choices. We’re all about affordability AND quality, so you don’t have to buy just to buy. Know what works for your body, your lifestyle, and your vibe. Whether you’re headed to brunch, a quick Target run, or date night — we have the pieces that do it all.

When you DM us, we’ll help you choose based on your style goals, not just trends.

5. Save Your Faves

Scroll back through our page and save the looks that speak to you. Whether it’s our signature Genie Pants, a bold print set, or that body-hugging dress that gives you life — saving your faves makes it easy to DM us and say, “I need this one!” Plus, it helps you build a wardrobe full of pieces that actually get worn.

6. Shopping Smarter is About Confidence

We believe that fashion should make you feel powerful. That’s why we offer styles that are bold, comfortable, and easy to wear — no matter your 9-5 or side hustle. Every time you shop with us, whether through DM, live, or at a pop-up, you're investing in the version of you that walks into the room and owns it.


Here’s what to do next:

  1. Catch our next live. Follow us on social so you never miss a drop.

  2. See something you love? Screenshot and DM us that look.

  3. Tell a friend. Shopping is better together, and referrals make your fashion karma glow.

We’re not just a boutique — we’re a vibe, a sisterhood, and your go-to for looks that speak before you even say a word.

Let’s keep it stylish and smart.

See you in the DMs,
